Ha! I love your answer to where you'd rather be right now. Me, too, sista!!

I just started reading the His Dark Materials series this week. Even though I'm only on chapter 3, I have already put in my reservation for our library's copy of the next book because I have a feeling I'm going to fly through this one!

Yay! I'm glad you did it too. You have visited and lived in such cool places! I'm really enjoying Girlfriends Guide To Divorce. I love that every mom has some version of "don't fight with your sibling" on the list. Haha!

What I'm reading on the train

Who am I?

I am another working mom who is trying to do it all without having to do too much cleaning but who still dreams of living in a house fit for a magazine. All of this while trying to stay sane which can be hard when you’re not a dog person but somehow ended up having 3 dogs and a son who tells you that he loves the dogs more than what he loves you.. But I’ll tell you I'm dreaming of becoming a lady of leisure who will have time to cook healthy meals (which my family will eat), do some DIY, travel and read ... can you blame me? - Go on admit it you would like to be one too!
